Stroke your brush
Across my broken face
Paint daisies on my bruises
Let your palate paint the colours of my skin
Linger with your pastels
Swirling, merging, masterpiece
Place a river in the empty
Bathe me and stir release
Like a river into ocean
Like a raindrop to the floor
Slowly with your painting
Until the canvas pleads for more
Take me ‘neath your starry landscape
You say you placed there just for me
Don’t stop until I’m breathless
From what you made with me
Now hold me
Whilst I
Breathe you
In
Before
The end
Of hope
Will
Win

Oh no!!! Your first verse pulled me right in Sylvia! I just loved this and I think it's the first time I've read a poem using the paintwork itself to frame the feelings.......
Thank you for your kind words 😌
A beautiful and very poetic usage of imagery which leaves this reader loudly applausing your skill Sylvia. An engaging read from the very first lines
Thank you Fay, you are very kind and your acknowledgment of any modicum of skill seen in my words makes me feel very humble 😌
I'll get my brushes out -great read Sylvia.
Please keep getting out those brushes.
And thank you 😊
Beautiful write, really conjures up some stirring images
Thank you SW, it’s not my usual style so I feel less confident in its reading.
I am glad you enjoyed it 😊
Take it from me, there is nothing wrong with the first verse..
and in my very humble opinion, you have every right to be both proud and pleased with this lovely poem... Furthermore, it is good to see you are still writing.. and I hope you can find the time and inclination to resume posting more often... Neville
Oh I did mildly edit the first verse after posting.
Of course I am writing.
It is in my bones.
Thanks for reading 😌
Good to hear & you are most welcome.
Neville
